Description

PH Coll 513.104

  • Subjects (LCTGM): Racing shells--United States--Washington (State)--Seattle ; Rowing races--Washington (State)--Seattle
  • Subjects (LCSH): Racing shells--Washington (State)--Seattle ; Rowing--Washington (State)--Seattle
  • The University of Washington Libraries refer to these as "racing shells" but they seem a bit wide for that.
  • The man at the tiller in the boat on the left seems to be wearing a U.S. Navy uniform.

I (Joe Mabel) emailed to the librarians I deal with there, and they agree that this was probably misdescribed:

  • "It doesn't look like these are crew races to me. Could have something to do with WWI, but I'll change the title. Thanks, Kris"
  • "Also the spectators on the side are lined up in perfectly straight lines which doesn't really happen during crew races....."
So expect the title at the source to change.
